Good point!
Lack of attention to non-Microsoft OSs may reach to a
point that even a hard-drive manufacturer considers
its consumers to be Windows users!
But my question is: Have other hard disk manufacturers
linux-based softwares?
I think a diagnostic tool should be stand-alone (on a
bootable media) or be able to run under DOS.
